Now the CanaaniteH3669 was thenH227 in the landH776. 7The LordH3068 3appearedH7200 to AbramH87 and saidH559, “4To your 5descendantsH2233 I will giveH5414 thisH2088 landH776.” So he builtH1129 6an altarH4196 thereH8033 to the LordH3068 who had appearedH7200 to him. 8Then he proceededH6275 from thereH8033 to the mountainH2022 on the eastH6924 of BethelH1008, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168, with 7BethelH1008 on the westH3220 and AiH5857 on the eastH6924; and thereH8033 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 to the LordH3068 and 8calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LordH3068. 9AbramH87 journeyedH5265 on, continuingH1980H5265 toward 9the 10NegevH5045.
